Comprehensive Medical Insurance
WHAT IS IT:
Health insurance helps lower your medical costs (doctor visits, prescriptions, hospital bills). You pay a monthly premium and in exchange, if you, or depending on your plan, a member of your family, require medical attention, the insurance company will pay all or a portion of that expense. You can enroll in a plan for yourself and your family. You can add extras to your plan like dental and vision insurance.
WHO QUALIFIES:
Full-Time Employees (average 30+ hours/week)
HOW TO REGISTER:
Eligible new hires can enroll in our health plan using Employee Navigator (www.employeenavigator.com, Company Identifier: CafeP) during their first 60 days of employment. Coverage will begin on the first of the month following their first 60 days of employment. All other eligible employees can enroll in the plan during annual open enrollment (every November) or in the event of a qualifying life change. If you are a part-time employee who would like to move to full-time in order to be eligible for health insurance, reach out to your GM. For more information, visit PatachouPeople.com/health-insurance
Health Savings Account
WHAT IS IT:
The HSA is a bank account you can use for medical expenses like doctors visits, prescriptions, dental work, eyeglasses or contact lenses and more. You can contribute any amount from your paycheck, up to the IRS annual maximum, and HSA Bank will send you a debit card for the account. Contributions are pre-tax which means you’re saving money on the back end. Any unused money at the end of the year rolls over to the next year and is yours indefinitely. You can also use your HSA as a long term investment tool with other retirement accounts to maximize your after-tax retirement income.
WHO QUALIFIES:
Full-Time Employees (average 30+ hours/week) who participate in the Patachou Inc. medical plan
HOW TO REGISTER:
Eligible staff can enroll in the HSA at any time by registering at hsa.patachouinc.com. Once you have enrolled in the HSA, you will need to notify HR of your desired per paycheck contribution amount.
4 Reasons to use your HSA
Tax Advantages: Since your contribution is taken out pre-tax, this lowers your taxable income. You can use this money to pay for qualified medical expenses.
You decide!: You choose what you would like to contribute each paycheck. This can be changed whenever you need depending on your circumstances. (The IRS max to contribute in one year is $4,150 for individuals and $8300 for families.)
The money is YOURS: If you do not use the money by the end of the year, it stays in your account. You take your HSA account with you when you leave.
You can invest the money: You can invest the money saved in your HSA account. These investments have a triple tax advantage as long as they are used for medical expenses.
Dependent Care Flexible Savings Account
WHAT IS IT:
The FSA is a bank account you can use for dependent care-related expenses like preschool, summer day camp, before or after school programs, and child or adult daycare. You can contribute any amount from your paycheck up to the IRS annual maximum and then apply for a reimbursement after you’ve paid for the qualifying service. Contributions are taken out pre-tax so they are not a part of your taxed income.
WHO QUALIFIES:
Full-Time Employees (average 30+ hours/week)
HOW TO REGISTER:
Eligible new hires can enroll in the FSA on the first of the month following their first 60 days of employment. All other eligible employees can enroll for the FSA during annual open enrollment (every November) or in the event of a qualifying life change.

Policies can be purchased for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents.

401K
WHAT IS IT:
A 401(k) is a retirement savings account you invest in now, let grow over time, and use when you retire. You fund a 401(k) with a percentage of your income, and that amount is taken out before you pay taxes on it. At Won’t Stop, if you contribute at least 5% of your total annual income, we match your contribution up to 4%. That means the company gives you free money for participating!
WHO QUALIFIES:
All employees over the age of 21
HOW TO REGISTER:
Eligible new hires can enroll in the 401(k) plan on the first of the month following their first 60 days of employment by visiting wontstopyou.com/patachou-401k. Your 401(k) is administered through Empower and contributions are deducted from your paycheck.
5 Reasons to Contribute to your 401k
1. Tax Advantages: Since your contribution is taken out pre-tax, this lowers your taxable income. Your contributions are tax deferred till you decide to take them out in retirement.
2. You decide!: You can contribute as much or as little as you want but we highly recommend maxing out the match if you are able to. You can change your contribution at any time depending on your circumstances.
3. Compound interest: The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to grow. Compound interest is when you earn interest on the principal amount of an investment plus any accumulated interest- so your interest earns interest. So while your contribution may not seem huge at first, the compounding interest can really add up over time!
4. It’s your money: If you leave Patachou, all the money you have contributed to your 401k is yours to take with you.
5. It’s easy: Since the contributions are taken automatically out of your paycheck pre-tax, you won’t miss that money. The money is deposited right away so it can start growing and earning that compound interest! Retirement can feel like it’s so far away but the sooner you start saving and planning, the less you’ll have to worry when it comes time to enjoy those golden years!
